While highly prevalent, this country still has a significant stigma surrounding psychiatric disorders. Brushing mental health under the rug is not the answer, and as a society interested in progress and well-being, now is the time to raise awareness for mental health in our communities. If you find yourself or a loved one suffering from a mental health condition, know that you are not alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14.666667\">What can you do to help raise mental health awareness? Here are three easy steps:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Challenge public stigma.<\/h2>\n<p>Notice a colleague or friend use a mental health slur? Speak up. Now is the time to promote open discussion about mental health, including calling out prejudice and biases in everyday conversations.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Educate yourself.<\/h2>\n<p>Learn about various conditions, treatments, and warning signs. National agencies such as NAMI and SAMHSA provide easily accessible and updated information about mental health conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Know where to get help.<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/988lifeline.org\/\">988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline<\/a> is a national campaign for acute mental health crises. Reach out to their call, text, or chat lines for assistance 24\/7. For non-acute care, consider seeing a mental health professional.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span data-removefontsize=\"true\" data-originalcomputedfontsize=\"14.666667\">Suffering?
